Disclaimer: I realize that women in our culture get bombarded by
men, thus I've decided to not add to that and not initiate in this
space. I will not bother you on this site unless you message me
first.

I'm a storyteller who loves creative...anything. I'm a thinker, a
lover, and sometimes a goofball. I think there's a time for
silliness and a time for seriousness, and life is all about finding
the right balance for yourself.

I care about openness and honesty above all else. I'm open to all
sorts of things and people, and intentionally try to surround
myself with people from different backgrounds and interests. I
couldn't tell you exactly what I'm looking for in a partner because
I'm not looking for a checklist; I have the capability to love and
be attracted to all sorts of girls, and pretty much nothing on this
dating site's "formula" of factors is concrete or set in stone.
Real people are more complex than that.

Writing, talking, loving, thinking, caring...
I love storytelling -- I am a storyteller and I love analyzing how
different forms of media can express things about the human
condition. I'm big into video games, but my life doesn't revolve
around them. I care about people and conversations more then any
form of media, and while I do love media and analyzing it, not
everything needs to be serious.

I am good at being honest, open, and communicating and expressing
my thoughts and feelings.

Oh, and while I'm a 'white', hetereosexual male, my main practice
is writing fiction from a female perspective, usually about
non-white characters. I care a great deal about media breaking out
of this 'straight-white-male' mold and being more evocative and
expressive of the entire breadth of humanity. I'm very interested
in promoting equality of every sort, and I do so with my writing. I
think that in some cases, stories can convey messages more
effectively than debates or arguments.

A lot of people say I make them feel very comfortable and at ease.
I get that a lot -- which I suppose makes sense, seeing as I'm
pretty open-minded and comfortable with who I am, so I definitely
want other people I interact with to feel the same way.

My eyes, apparently.

I come across as really shy or quiet at first in a group setting,
but in heart-to-heart or one-on-one conversation I come alive --
either that, or just get me talking about stories, art, creative
things. I can be pretty quiet when I don't know people (I observe
and listen), but pretty talkative and expressive when participating
in conversation. I know how to express myself and am not afraid to
do so once I know someone is interested in having a real
discussion.

People often describe me as thoughtful, observant, 'strong' (in the
emotional sense), and loyal.

I do love video games a lot -- some of my favorites are fighting
games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Super Street Fighter 4, but I
also really like games that have a message or purpose to them --
BioShock, The Walking Dead, Journey.

Some of my favorite movies are Stranger Than Fiction, The Truman
Show, Juno, The Terminal, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

My favorite TV shows as of late are Avatar: The Last
Airbender/Legend of Korra (But only the 1st season of Korra),
Steven Universe, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Dexter,
Community, and Gravity Falls I'm also a big fan of Joss Whedon's
stuff, and really enjoyed Firefly and Dollhouse. Some of my
favorite series also happen to be anime, though I don't follow
anime specifically -- Michiko & Hatchin (more women need to see
this show, but also just more of humanity), Cowboy Bebop,
Steins;Gate, FMA:B, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I also love watching a lot of webshows with thoughtful analysis of
media, culture, and video games, such as PBS Idea Channel,
Gametrailers' Bonus Round, Extra Credits, and many of the web
series on The Escapist. Did Felicia Day ever finish The Guild? I
followed it for like five seasons.

My music tastes are a bit harder to pin down, but in general I
guess my favorite genre is jazz? I like a bunch of stuff, but some
of my favorite musicians lately are Billy Joel, Christina Perri,
P!nk, Aivi & Surrashu (they're actually good friends of mine),
Protodome, David Wise, and Owl City.

...how we as people are able to expressive ideas, thoughts,
feelings, and more through stories and creative works. How we can
better each other and ourselves through sharing experiences and
ideas through creative means.

I also spend a lot of time thinking about people I care about, and
how I can bring something into their lives.

...chilling at home with my housemates, perhaps with some drinks
and takeout, enjoying a good show, movie, or video game together in
good company and relaxing -- enjoying the creative world we live
in.

...you value openness and honesty. You're here to meet actual
people. You want to make friends with someone who shares common
interests.

Or, ideally, if the idea of getting together and swapping TV shows
or movies (or video games, books, or whatever) with each other as
we share thoughts about what we're taking in is a thing that sounds
interesting to you.

...if you know where the blue and white hat I'm wearing in my
profile pic is from, and it matters to you, that's a nice bonus.
